[nysbirds-l] County & State Listing - Submission Deadline is March 1
Many thanks to those who have already submitted their reports! This note is a friendly reminder to those who haven’t sent their data in yet. The NYSOA (New York State Ornithological Association) County and State Listing Project is now accepting data for 2013. If you’d like to get your numbers into the 2013 report, don’t miss the March 1 deadline. Data may be submitted online or via fax, email, or USPS. If you’re new to this and it sounds interesting, read on. Participation in this fun, friendly competition is open to anyone who is a member of NYSOA or one of NYSOA’s member clubs, or who is a Youth Member of NYSOA’s NYS Young Birders Club (NYSYBC). Started in 1992 by Berna Lincoln, the project continues to engage many participants across the state, some of whom have not missed a single year since the beginning. The ultimate objective of the project is to encourage birders of all levels to get out and bird the many varied habitats of New York State and report their sightings throughout the year to local clubs, NYSOA’s regional editors, and eBird. After the close of each calendar year, participants send in their life list totals for the entire state, the 10 Kingbird regions, and/or the 62 counties. You can send in just one number or as many as 74, or anywhere in between – it’s your choice depending on where you’ve birded and what records you’ve kept. A compilation is produced annually and published in NYSOA’s newsletter and now also on the NYSOA website at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. Online & printable forms, plus a map of the ten Kingbird regions of the state, are available on that web page also. Join in on the fun – but don’t miss the deadline! And remember, no reports submitted in previous years are automatically carried into the next published list – the slate is wiped clean each year. If you want to be listed, you must submit your report, even if your numbers haven’t changed since the last one you sent in. By the way, a complete archive of all County & State Listing Report compilations since the project started is now available! Check it out at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html.
